They aren't continents; calling them continents implies a planet, but the planet is long gone, broken apart into isolas (containing both land, including full continents, and sea) floating in the Pale, which is very much not fog.

The Pale isn't... anything, really. A literal lack of being. Not matter, or energy, but space-time broken down into pure entropy where direction and time lose all meaning.

Congratulations, you just discovered the paradox of tolerance.

And, yeah, essentially, in order to survive, a democratic society cannot allow those who seek to destroy it to participate in the democratic process.

*Least worst so far, maybe, if we're being generous (which tends to be frowned upon or downright illegal under capitalism, so better let's not).

Looking up “displeased white cat wearing cowboy hat” on duckduckgo (and, by extension, I assume also bing) produces pages and pages of slop and no useable results, but google images still produced some real pictures.

It seems that the concept is somewhat common amongst stock image shops (though specifically white cats are rarer); for instance:

Shutterstock

Vecteezy

I've also found several sites (which might be scams) supposedly selling cat hats using these images, despite the cat clearly not looking very pleased with the product in question:

Well, it's supposed to transmogrify into (human) flesh and blood once it gets in your mouth.

Alcohol might be a no-no, but cannibalism is apparently a-ok. 🤷‍♂️

Short people will not go to heaven.

Well, obviously. They can't reach.

*DIGNES

Translation for anyone who doesn't know Catalan and can't be bothered to look it up:

DECENT PENSIONS

(Digne/a/es comes from the same root as dignity; in this case it means decent, acceptable, that doesn't violate one's dignity.)

ENOUGH PRECARITY (literal)
STOP WORK / SOCIAL PRECARITY (paraphrased)

EDIT:

Also, VOTA ⇢ VOTE (rather obviously, but for the sake of completion) and ONG ⇢ NGO (Non Government Organisation; Red Cross, for instance).

The rest, unless I missed anything, I translated under a couple replies to this post.

Turns out the smallest kitty is the least scaredy-cat of them all, while the biggest (Samson) is by far the most scared one.

Obviously, the smaller the cat, the harder to hit, and easier to hide.
